On the Road Again. Baltimore Aquarium

We returned to Baltimore, Maryland, to pick up our motor home.  Bob doesn't like to drive on the weekend so we were staying on in Baltimore over the weekend.  We hadn't really done any sightseeing here.  The campground was so nice it was hard to leave.  But Bob really wanted to see the National Aquarium in Baltimore.


The waterfront area in Baltimore is well developed.  We, I should say I, had no expectations for Baltimore, but we were favorably impressed both with the city of Baltimore and the beautiful countryside.

Awesome water feature at the entrance.  A little pricey, $30 for seniors, but we felt it was well worth it.


The aquarium was divided into different habituates.  You walked up and around the building. A new exhibit was being added.  It was a coral reef and they were gradually adding fish, while we were there.


We saw lots of turtles.




Colorful fish.




Some strange fish. Check out the eyes of some and the nose on others.




And some fancy fish.


Even anemones.


Sea horses.


There were birds too.  Puffins my favorite.




Rays.



Monkeys from the rain forest in Australia.


And a few things I can't classify, but too beautiful to leave out.



They also had a dolphin show.




We enjoyed our day and I do mean all day, we were there from about 10 till 3. By the way, parking was $24.
